Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance – CEIAG

We believe that the education we provide our students should enable them to develop independence and resilience and give them the skills they need to continue to succeed once they leave Joyce Frankland Academy. Good career guidance is an essential part of this and we aim to ensure that students have considered all the opportunities available to them, and that they have the advice and guidance that will raise their aspirations and allow them to make appropriate decisions. Preparation for future transitions should be smooth and well informed to facilitate effective career management.

Careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) enables our students to gain an understanding of themselves that will assist with their future. They gather information about the options that are available to them in order to make realistic career decisions. This includes researching about the wide range of options and different pathways that can be taken to reach their career goals.

We have a stable but progressive CEIAG programme, which considers the students as individuals and allows them to develop their skills and attributes. We promote an ethos that encourages sustainable employability and strongly believe that our knowledge of our students helps to support them in making the right choices to allow them to succeed. Effective careers education and guidance has the capacity to make a positive contribution to the well-being of individuals, their families and their communities; aiding social and economic growth.

Our CEIAG programme has been developed in consideration of the Gatsby Report’s benchmarks, and the CDI (Career Development Institute) Framework for careers, employability and enterprise education 7-19.
